Figure 5. MnP + AscH− and gemcitabine does not alter systemic levels of 4HNE-modified proteins in vivo.
(A) Representative 4HNE dot blot. Purified bovine serum albumin (BSA) was reacted with excess purified 4-HNE to create a positively labeled protein control seen in the upper panel. Negative control is unreacted purified BSA. Blot for 4-HNE modified proteins in cardiac muscle showed no changes in immunoreactive protein after any of the treatments when compared to controls.
(B) Quantification of dot blots for 4-HNE modified proteins in mouse heart, liver and kidney homogenates demonstrated no difference in immuno-reactive protein after any of the treatments when compared to controls; n = 3.
